Townsville High Risk Work Licence

If you’re operating machinery like forklifts, boom-type EWP over 11 metres, cranes, or performing dogging and scaffolding, you’ll need a high-risk work licence—it’s not optional, it’s the law. At Advanced Industry Training, we deliver nationally recognised high risk training designed to prepare you for safe, compliant work in regulated environments.


Our high risk work licence courses cover a range of essential skills, including forklift operation, crane use, EWP over 11m, basic scaffolding, dogging and rigging. We focus on hands-on, practical training delivered by experienced instructors to ensure you meet the licensing and safety standards required across mining, construction, warehousing, and industrial worksites.


Before training begins, you’ll need to verify your identity with three forms of ID—our admin team will guide you through what’s accepted during the enrolment process.
